Today I started getting alerts about a new Sony software update (OTA and in PC Companion), but cannot find any info about the update. Is this a minor firmware update, or the update to Android 5.1 (I'm currently on 5.0.2)?
My guess would be 5.1 as it was recently announced to be coming. Otherwise, no idea
What's the version number according to the update app?
I'm 100% sure that it's still just 5.0.2, as Sony announced 5.1 for July at its soonest, but August seems more likely to me and by the time the roll-out is completed for all regions and carriers, it will probably be ~October~November.
Latest non-carrier 5.0.2 firmware 23.1.A.1.28 was released on the 6th of May and it still hasn't rolled out to my region, which is Belgium.
Some regions and carriers are very, very slow with pushing updates.

That's the odd thing... there is no version number that I can see and I don't want to risk actually installing the update to find out. It's actually called a "system update", so maybe not a new version of Android? Has anyone else in the US had a system update pushed OTA to them in the last few days?

I checked my phone last night for an update both from system settings and with my phone connected to the Sony Companion program. It came up with nothing on both ends.

Screenshot, please?
It's probably 23.1.A.1.28
Or 23.2.A.1.62 if your phone is branded T-Mobile, Telekom.de or Cosmote
For US it's still 23.1.A.1.28, but customization moved from R4C to R5C.

No idea what R4C to R5C means. Could you elaborate? I assume it's basically a few bug fixes.
I got the same. It was called 'system update' but it was for 'What's New' and 'Sony Music'
So it seems to be a system app update.

That sucks. I have What's New disabled, and was planing to hang on to the Walkman app name for as long as possible. But now I can't get rid of the update notification, apparently, unless I update. I feel like Sony's holding me hostage. The "postpone" options for the notification don't work

That sucks how they do this to us. I have not yet decided if i wantvthe z3c yet but recently has a similar situation with my original moto x.
I didn't want to update but they practically force it on you. It got to the point where the notification constantly popped up no matter what and even interrupted me during crucial moments while using various apps.
Finally had to give in and do the update. Best of luck and hope it works out for you
Will I loose root if I OTA update?
To make the notification go away just kill update center from settings->application.

I have been reading through various sites that Moto app was updated to match the one what comes with the new devices, but I haven't been able to update to that version, although the Play Store says that the last update was on July 29.
Anyone already been able to update through the Play Store?.
Thanks
I just got it. It has a prettier background, and it looks like you can tweak each of the features a little more than you could before. Nothing major though, in my opinion.
Just did today.
I'm sure it'll get pushed soon. Have you tried to Uninstall Updates, clear cache and update that way?
I will have to wait then, so strange it still didn't came for my phone (Maxx).
I guess you have a Droid Turbo.
I've got that update today for my maxx.
So weird, I have also the Maxx and I don't have the update.
After updating to the new Moto version I lost the Moto heading under Settings.
Yes, I do have a Droid Turbo. When I get home today, I can pull the apk and send it to you if you want.
Slow work day. Here are all the Moto related apps: https://mega.nz/#F!nhZG2KLJ!spwQRKKIBf2GTIYwLNbFqA
Google announced that ALL android wear watches will get android 6 update....
so here you can report when you get the OTA on lg watch R or any other useful news about it
links:
http://www.xda-developers.com/google-begins-marshmallow-rollout-for-android-wear/
http://officialandroid.blogspot.in/2016/02/android-wear-designed-for-your-wrist.html?m=1
Hope we will be among the first served!
I am checking my watch every hour
I'll give it a week before even thinking too much about it. Also if it's going to be similar lollipop update rollout we might need to factory reset to get it fast.
I say it starts rolling out in March.
From the Wear Support forum: "To successfully receive the update on your watch, please make sure your watch is on its charger overnight and connected to your nearby phone by either bluetooth or Wi-Fi (Android phones only). "
So yeah, keep em' connected to the charger and phone
Have to say I have never been less excited about an update to the watch. Nothing really new announced. Don't use any of the gestures anyway. Wish they would allow the use of two or more languages for voice commands.
people are reporting that moto 360 (1st gen) is getting android 6 update in these hours...
edit: moto 360 2nd gen too
Not to excited either, secretly hoping that they make the "ok Google" command more sensitive again. Since the latest update it's a hit and miss.
i really hope for a better battery live, android 6 is great on smartphones
Hey i read somewhere that rooted devices wont get the ota update does any1 know if there's any truth to that?

You might get a notification, but I doubt it will successfully install (assuming OTAs are handled like other devices and must not be modified in any way).
Root or unlocked bootloader shouldn't cause problems with updates, and in case they do you can always sideload the update and solve the problem using adb.
I checked out the update on a moto 360 first gen, gestures are good enough, and I noticed also an improved smoothness. Battery life is also improved, especially in stand by mode or ambient (doze magic).
Keeping in mind all those benefits.. I want this update as soon as possible.
Just got the update

Did you do this before or after applying the upgrade? If you did it afterwards, it's useless as the URL won't be in there.
Otherwise, try searching for "googleapis.com" or just "http".

Me too. Just restart your watch and slide up once rebooted. A new notification asking for update will come up.
Don't have the update yet on mine, I tried uninstalling wear os and then re-update it like some say it will force the update but I don't have it. Does anyone know how to force the update? system update says i'm on the latest version.

Same here. I'm in the US, what about you? May have to do with location as the others who posted seem to be from other countries, and they may space apart the roll-out. Just a guess.
What is exactly your version number ? In settings ?

Got it since 1st Oct - Poland
And yes, we have WearOs 2.0 (as base) upped to 2.16.x by apk.
Looks like Google find other way to update watches without OEMs...
I really like this update, new UI, controls... it should look and act this way from the beginning

It seems is like a launcher update
Just rebooted the watch, went to settings to perform update check and it said everything was up to date, but about 5 seconds later, the notification popped up and it's currently installing.

Ok... so why it needs reboot and clean cache?
Got it this morning. Just a "launcher app" update, not system. But IMHO this is the best update for UI speed, ease of use and look!
Hi, can someone extract and post the new launcher apk? Thanks
Got the 2.0 update last night on the LG G Watch R and it's not all it's cracked up to be.
Battery life sucks like the early days of AW2. Already down to 75% with limited use in just 3 hours. Used to go 12 hours and still be on 80% life left.
Music controls are mostly bad.
Controls no longer are in the notification screen and very often won't come on screen when you start playing music via your phone. To get them to come on your watch you have to go to the Quick Settings (swipe down), click on the song playing, now you get the controls. You can't do anything else with your watch with the music controls on screen (have to swipe right to see your watch face again). Also the playlist manipulation is gone. Only positive is it's easier to change volume with the new controls.
I just started to update to the GEN_EU_EEA_A2020G_Pro_V2.3 with Android Q.
DARK mode included!!!

The face unlock is a bit slower than before, but overall seems more polish regarding the transitions and gestures.
Nevertheless, i think it needs a bit more "speed" on the transitions.

That's a easy fix,
Head over to " Developer Options " and change all Animation from 1 to 0.5
I did the bootloader unlock first. Broke the OTA. Can not be installed. Packet not matching the device.
Relocked the bootloader and it still does not work.
Did anyone update to Android 10 and unlocked the bootloader afterwards?
Sorry but last update is fu.ked up.Gestures in "System navigation" menu don't work.I can't choose this option. Only Virtual Navigation is available
Also I noticed much worse photos from stock camera

Blame Google for that, they managed to break the thirdparty launcher support in Q. If you want gestures, use the stock launcher.
Android Q problems
Any one else who can't se the files in file explorer? Nothing is erased but it won't show either. The same with music in music player. Also a bit lag especially when screen lock is on and I want to control apps running.
the update can only be made if no magisk root and no twrp is installed (if twrp and magisk is installed, the update cancels) whether the bootloader is unlocked is irrelevant during the update

No, blame ZTE. Google fixed this issue with 3rd party launchers back in December. ZTE didn't implement the fix prior to pushing their update. This is on them! And they need to push a fix ASAP cause this is unacceptable!
Does anyone of you experience slow camera? It loads forever. Also switching the lenses.
Both with ZTE camera and Google camera mod.
Plus desktop mode works now [emoji1]
but the DPI is very low on my full HD screen. So not much fun yet.
Android Q issues
Since the new update of my mobile, the ZTE axon 10 pro, to Android Q I am experiencing problems:
*I can't turn of battery saving mode which makes my gps often useless.
*The always on display shuts off when I select specific hours of operation for the always on display.
*When the screen is locked then the mobile doesn't respond directly when I press something, always with a few seconds delay.
*Native file explorer can't find my files, I need to install third party apps to solve it.
*Sometimes the phone freezes, especially when using Chrome.
The are other small issues as well.*
I would like to sideload the new update to see if the problems will disappear but I can't find the zip file for the new update .
Anyone that has the zip file for the global version?
Anyone with similar or other issues?
Any ideas how to fix these?
Thanks in advance!

I never turn battery save mode on. I will check it.
*The always on display shuts off when I select specific hours of operation for the always on display.
I never see this. Once I realized that it turned on with almost 1 minute delay but I didn't check it once again.
*When the screen is locked then the mobile doesn't respond directly when I press something, always with a few seconds delay.
It is always fine for me.
*Native file explorer can't find my files, I need to install third party apps to solve it.
I have never used built in file explorer but I tried it. It works fine for me.
*Sometimes the phone freezes, especially when using Chrome.
I don't know Chrome. I use Opera. Very rarely it waits for longer time but it comes back in reasonable time. The phone has never been frozen fully.
May be you should do factory reset and also get all update from Google Store.
Hello,
I cannot see update to version 2.3 in system updater.
Do I need to do something more to be able to get this package with Android 10?
I am in the same boat.
I have the European version and android 10 is not showing at system updater.
Currently on 1.8

Messaged ZTE about the EU update to the A2020G variant.
"Thanks for contacting ZTE, we are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.
We would like to inform you, updates when available are sent onto the phones via OTA (over the air).
Also it will be released based on the IMEI numbers as well, hence we kinldy request you to wait for the notification on your device for the update."
Guess its luck of the IMEI draw .

No alterations. Bought from Amazon 2weeks ago
Here is a screenshot, later i post if i see any obvious changes
OK for me
We already talked about this update for a week now.
You induce people in error thinking there is another update, not this one.
There is a new update out. No fix for notifications in dark mode.
Could have guessed it because it wasn't mentioned, but even this trial is stuck on December security update. Vivo seemingly just cannot do software. Hope it's more stable than the last version. On the last one I had 1-3 partial app crashes a day on camera or Gmail or chrome (making restart of app necessary).
None of the real problems like autofocus, notifications or battery life usm

OMG... When I opended the software update screen no new update was presented, but when I opened the trial/beta screen, I got the option to update... ^_^...
Not missing much, this update runs very unstable for me and worst battery drain on mobile data yet.
E.g. keyboard lost while typing a reply here and need to close chrome and reopen to be able to type again frequently.
Instead of fixing anything vivo is just making things worse....have you made sure you're not talking to a chatbot at vivo support?

And even better, my 'unknown number' issue when having a VOLTE/VOWIFI connection is solved ^_ ^
I cannot install any apk anymore on this trial version. Play store is outdated and I cannot update it! Same for gcams...
After clicking on "Continue Installation" it just crashes.
I downloaded a random APK from apk mirror, opened it with the 'File managment' app and was able to install the APK just fine... Also updating installed apps via play store works fine for me...

Ah ok. I put him on the ignore list and don't see any message from him anymore. So your comment was confusing me
Edit: when it doesn't work for him it's clearly an user error. I wish for all the people here he sells the phone and let us be in peace.
Well I don't know why it doesn't work. Just nothing happens after clicking on "Continue Installatin" - Updating apps via play store works fine (but play store cannot update itself - if you want to update play store you need to manually downlaod a new apk). I don't know when it last worked - maybe a week ago.
Edit:
well I can still install/update everything via ADB install - guess I removed some system permissions too much when making sure this phone doesn't send home too much data.
